Luzon-Mindanao Bus Tickets

If anyone wondered what a Luzon bus ticket looks like. Here is an example taken when I was traveling north to Dau, Pampanga to buy myself some military equipment.

They have somewhat a different approach compared to a Mindanao bus conductor I am used to. The practice is different because you have more information out of your ticket; the ticket entails time, date, and the bus number.

As a comparison to what I am actually saying, here is a photo of a Rural Transit Mindanao bus ticket.

The Summit

Mountain Biking is a booming sport/hobby here in Bukidnon, where cross country races are being held once or twice a year with different sponsors. Of all Bukidnon's biking population, most if not all have participated in the said competitions. Mountain bikes are common here since our roads are yet to be developed taking advantage of the different technologies offered today. While on the other side of the coin, road bikes are not far behind.

One route usually taken by these cycling enthusiasts is "The Summit",which is known for its steep gradient of the road going to Cabanglasan, a fourth class municipality of Bukidnon and it passes through several barangays from the city proper of Malaybalay. "The Summit" is a training ground for beginners and veterans alike, but for those who bike in a leisurely pace the scenery is breathtaking (I'm not sure if the scenery took my breath away or the roads going there)

"Bukidnon" (the mountain says it all)

The road actually leads to that mountain at the back

SNAPSHOTS | Descending from Mt. Kalatungan

I was actually descending 2880 meters above sea level from the summit of Mt. Kalatungan when I took this photo overlooking Southern Mindanao towards another view of a mountain in Cotabato.

During this time, our clothes were beginning to get soaked with rain water as the sky came down pouring. Yet for a moment of time, I was able to take a justifying photo of how beautiful this mountain can be.

Nagduaw Ako Sa "Maramag Bukidnon Plaza"

I visited a familiar place in town, the Maramag Town Plaza just a kilometer away from home. It's quite a popular site for the local people where Hatawan or a group aerobic fitness dance is being held at 5 am in the morning.

 It's almost a free ticket to fitness here. All you have to do is be motivated enough to wake up in the morning. The place is also relatively safe since the Police station is situated across the road.

If you are a running junkie like me, about 9 loops around the town plaza is equivalent to 3.2 kilometers. A handy tool, just in case you wish to know if you're set to joining any Military or Police service. Good time to jog will be at 5am towards 7am.

Most of all, having this on your sight makes fitness really fun.

Review: Headware Apparels

Are you in need of head wear protection from the sun this summer? Or are you just simply happy about personalizing your fashion? Why not try Headware?

I have been a Headware user for quite some time now. At first, I didn't realize the importance it made in my lifestyle but when I found myself traveling a lot, Headware comes in handy, more better than a regular cap. Simply unhide it from your pocket, this wonder will simply aid you to sleep or protect your hair from the sun.

I even blamed this for sleeping more comfortably inside the bus, I have exceeded my destination because I overslept, well, I think because Headware actually isolates you from any factor that could disturb your sleep.

This product comes with many designs. Head out to their website, www.theheadware.com to find the nearest store. It retails less than PHP300.00. Really good value. 

So once you find yourself traveling again, Headware will always stand for protection and a good sleep aide.
